David Holmes 'Late Night Tales' (Late Night Tales)

The whole philosophy of the ‘Late Night Tales’ series is to allow DJs to showcase their more tranquil side.
But even with that in mind, David Holmes has put together a particularly serene selection for their latest release. The Northern Irish DJ and producer, who’s best known for his soundtrack work on films such as Oceans Eleven, has collated nearly 20 tracks capable of putting you into a meditative state. It moves between 70s psych from Children Of Sunshine to reflective country from Jeff Bridges (yes, that Jeff Bridges) and Alain Maclean, with a smattering of new material from Holmes along the way. At its best, this is music to cleanse the soul.
